Purpose
Choose between a single fluid domain and conjugate heat transfer between fluid and solid domains.
Steps
- In Geometry, choose Fluid or Conjugated heat transfer in Simulation type.
- For Fluid, prepare one closed fluid volume. For conjugate heat transfer, prepare at least two closed volumes.
- Mesh the model, then assign domain types, materials, and interface thermal settings in Setup.
Inputs and units
| Input or value | Meaning | Units |
|---|---|---|
| Simulation type | Fluid or conjugate heat transfer (CHT). | No physical units |
| Coordinates / distances | Use the unit shown beside the Geometry input fields; the small-unit button switches m to mm, or ft to in. | m or mm (SI); ft or in (Imperial) |
Limitations
- CHT and multiple volume domains require a Pro license. Each domain must be a closed volume; touching regions need a consistent interface.
